The adolescent brain is shaped by their experiences, so we as educators have a great responsibility to ensure we make learning interesting and stimulating.

Our 6th class 'buddies' celebrated the end of Book Week recently by making book marks with their Lower First (kindy) buddies. This was done as part of their regular Friday afternoon buddy session.
Our 6th class leadership positions include the role of Buddy Monitor and each term two senior students have the opportunity to plan activities and games and set them up for the Lower First buddies and the other 6th class students. The activities are supervised by teachers, but all the senior students love the opportunity to spend time with our youngest students, whether it be playing Duck Duck Goose, reading activities, craft stations or tabloid sports.

Tia Curtis has just returned from the World Skipping Championships in Malmo, Sweden. Tia was in team Australia 21 which was against 17 other teams from 24 countries. They performed single rope routines, speed skipping and double dutch and won 5 medals which placed them 1st overall in the 12-14-year-old female category.

From the stories of the original Sisters who opened the School, to the life of Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat who declared that “the Society was founded to go the ends of the earth; we have no boundary other than the horizon”.
